RAND HRS – main longitudinal file supporting research from multiple disciplines
RAND HRS – longitudinal file of detailed measures of income and wealth imputations
RAND HRS fat files – wave-specific files combininig all raw variables
RAND HRS – CAMS: cleaned longitudinal file of the HRS spending data
RAND HRS – Tax Calculations of HRS households (Using NBER TAXSIM)
RAND HRS – Family Data: longitudinal files of information on HRS respondents’ children
SURVEY DESIGN OF PUBLIC USE DATA, available to the research community
